Integrated Drilling Services is a new concept in which all services and equipment and even in some cases material procurement are integrated under one contract. This model of a contract is technically and economically feasible for the geothermal concession owners who usually lack all infrastructures running a complicated drilling project. Instead of making contracts with 7-9 service providers, you can do with only 2-3 contracts. Project management becomes simpler and therefore more efficient.

Further this can lead to improved well design, better selection of rig equipment and technology selection. Based on terms and conditions, the experienced Drilling Company are more responsible for problem solving, better drilling systems for different well sections, and good operational coordination which usually leads to drilling optimization and cost efficiency.

The ideal example of this kind of arrangement is the Wotten Waven drilling project in Dominica. This type of an integrated contract we sincerely believe was of great benefit to the operator (the PMU of Dominica).  Another example is also in the Caribbean in the island of St. Vincent.

For Operators of drilling projects not having their own infrastructure and expertise for handling all this procurement, one option is to source these services out to a professional

Drilling Contractor

The benefits are:

• By integrating multiple services which is needed in the drilling operation into a single one hand, we aim to simplify the process by making it easier and more economical for the developer to start the drilling operations without the need of assembling number of players into the planning phase and operation. Let the “one” contractor do that for you.
• Because of better workflow you will have Reduced risk of onsite difficulties. –
• Reduced risk of delays in the drilling time plan.  The contractor will be responsible for supplying all the material, which means that he will strive for delivering at the right time all the material supplies needed.  In case that will fail, they simply will not be able to operate the rig, and therefore not entitled to a “daily rate”. In other words.
• Your will have one stop shop for information and communication, Increased quality of communication, due to fewer people involved.
• Ergo, Easier monitoring of processes
• Which should lead to …..higher quality of work.
• Due to reduced cost because of less overhead, you will have better economy in the whole project.
• Improved security (less people on site).

This type of drilling contract is being offered by an increasing number of drilling contractors who have experience offering a wide array of services under one contract as an Integrated Drilling Solution.
